Photoshop introduction

Today we had a short intro into using Photoshop. An piece of image manipulation software.

We spent some time learning how to select certain elements of the image and spotlight particular parts of the image.

Here is the image I created. The eyes, mouth and bow tie are made from a picture of the earth. It was originally on a black background but because of the solid colour in the background I could select just the background and invert the selection to have just the earth. I squeezed and played with the shape of it to create the tie and the mouth. I mainly used presets.

These skills are important when I start work on my auxiliary task to create a cd cover and website. Being able to manipulate images will show my skill and help me successfully promote my band.
